Today, Reps. Ashley Hinson and Mariannette Miller-Meeks joined their Washington party bosses and voted to block legislation to protect Iowans from harmful attacks on their right to vote.
The Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act is more important than ever. As Republican state lawmakers introduce hundreds of bills to suppress voters and pass dozens of laws that limit voters’ access to the ballot box, this bill would expand Iowans’ opportunities to vote and combat the GOP’s voter suppression crusade.
While Hinson and Miller-Meeks voted with every other extremist Republican against putting a stop to the onslaught of Jim Crow-style voter suppression laws hurting voters, House Democrats fought to protect the American people’s most sacred right.
DCCC Spokesperson Elena Kuhn
“It’s clear Ashley Hinson and Mariannette Miller-Meeks think their party’s best way back to a majority is by suppressing the power of voters. If Hinson and Miller-Meeks are too afraid of their own voters, they have no business representing them in Congress.”
